That part is not very helpful to anyone really tbh. The interesting info happens before that message.
Perhaps try booting with rdshell, and see if you can capture the whole dmesg.

Is cciss.ko ending up in the generated initramfs ? (lsinitrd will tell you)

If you had that bug, it would have manifested as an oops.
